Welcome to Home of Donabe Cooking! This blog is about healthy Japanese and donabe (Japanese clay pot) cooking. I love my donabe life and I want to share the joy of donabe cooking with many other people. I also write about random food, wine, and travel experiences.

The wood press and lid are handcrafted from the finest Japanese cypress wood ("Hinoki"). The kit also includes 100% cotton straining bag, 100% cotton pressing cloth, 12 packets of natural nigari liquid, and full English instructions.

You can order it from toiro's website. Please visit the product page for more details/ for order.

I've been crazy about making my own tofu. I find the process is very simple, and the result is amazing. You can find more about my tofu making experiences in this blog. Please click here to find the homemade tofu-related entries.

Hope many people will start making their own tofu and enjoy the healthy life!

Naoko/ About Me

Author of DONABE cookbook (Ten Speed Press, Oct 2015). I am from Tokyo, and currently live in Los Angeles. I cook with donabe (Japanese clay pot) every day when I'm home and promote happy donabe lifestyle to people around the world. In 2008, I established a company called, toiro kitchen, an online donabe shop and a US representative of Nagatani-en (iga-mono brand), a producer of authentic Iga-yaki donabe and pottery, founded in 1832 in Iga, Japan.
